HPS Schönox introducing new product-systems

Posted Date: 11/13/2013

[Orlando, Fla.] HPS Schönox announced it is introducing a product-system approach at the Healthcare Design Conference in Orlando, Fla., to address subfloor issues common in healthcare facility renovation projects.

According to Schönox, these product systems meet dual objectives of environmental sensitivity and renovation efficiency.

Combinations of Schönox products can address diverse and challenging subfloor problems such as rough and uneven substrates, unsound wood subfloors, asbestos cutback, and significant moisture issues, the company stated.

“In the healthcare sector we are repeatedly seeing that the true cost of a healthcare facility renovation is measured by the down time of that space,” commented Karen Bellinger, HPS Schönox business development. “Our products significantly decrease the time that healthcare spaces are not in use due to renovation.”

Schönox can solve these subfloor issues with products that do not contain VOCs, have dust reducing properties, contribute to LEED credits, and allow installers to renovate rather than demolish existing subfloors, the company stated.

“With good reason, environmental sensibilities are the highest in the healthcare industry,” commented Jennifer Thomas, architectural and design specialist. “Schönox products are increasingly being specified for healthcare projects given the company’s significant environmental credentials.”
